Re: Scriptshadow
I don't like to slag on SS because hey, he's a guy just like everyone else trying to carve out a little corner of the world for himself, but this statement? This statement is entirely wrong.
SS is many things, but great resource for writers isn't one of them. He's a good guy and he means well and his output is... impressive, but he's all quantity. He approaches scripts from the most basic possible standpoint and his critiques are thin at best and mostly unreasoned and underconsidered. All his discussions are gut - they never ascend higher than "I dunno, I just didn't like it." You'd be better served seeking out other blogs. gointothestory.com is an especially good one. wordplayer.com is equally fantastic.
